Nothing can kill romance faster than the word prenup. But with about one in three of all first marriages ending in divorce, and 50 percent of second or third ones hitting the skids, a prenup is smart financial planning, legal and financial experts say.
"Think of it as a business arrangement or as an insurance policy to help remove some of the emotion that's naturally involved," says Nancy Dunnan, a New York City financial adviser and author. "Marriage is not just an emotional and physical union -- it's also a financial union. A prenup and the discussions that go with it can help ensure the financial well-being of the marriage."
A prenuptial accord is a contract between two people about to wed that spells out how assets will be distributed in the event of divorce or death. Such agreements have existed for thousands of years in some form or another, particularly in European and Far Eastern cultures, where royal families have always made provisions for protecting their wealth.

www.bankrate.comReading this article immediately reminded me of an excerpt in gospel concerning marital problems. And it does go back to its immediate basics: Trust. There has to be some kind of trust in a relationship, particularly marriage, in order for the union to work as well as last. Every marriage will have its own 'ups and downs', however, it is left to the husband and wife to strive through such stage in life---to pass the test. These two verses in the gospel sing truth and wonder concerning the subject matter at hand.
1. Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It is not rude. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrong doing. It does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, trusts, hopes, perseveres." --1 Corinthians 13
2. So they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, no human being must separate." --Mark 10:8-9 The moral to this story is to stay true to one another; have faith in your spouse, if there is a will, there is a way. Let not petty matters affect your marriage. Money, income etc will be sustained and secured--so long as the union and bedrock of the family is secured. A divided house will buckle under its own weight, but a united house will sustain and survive even the greatest of storms.
Cheers to you all.
PS. Never give up. (This goes out to those who are having rifty relationships; don't forget to forgive your love ones )
